“Sara Fay and the Elementals children’s books are the only ones of which I am aware that teach listening to your inner voice.”

– Aaron Cance, author and owner of The Printed Garden

On The Printed Garden website, Aaron shares his background stating:

“In 1996, I was offered my first bookstore job at Crossroad Books (look for them online – they’re great people!), a shop in Eau Claire, WI, that carried secondhand and rare books. After moving on to the sole proprietorship of Rupert’s Room, a small, online business that brokered the sale of rare and secondhand books, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from the University of Wisconsin, working a five year stint at Barnes & Noble in Sugarhouse (after moving to Salt Lake City, of course), a one year period of working at Ken Sanders Rare Books, earning a Master of Arts degree in British and American Literature from the University of Utah and, most recently, eight years of work at The King’s English Bookshop (where I learned more than I could ever possibly have imagined!), I have arrived at this great new place . . . and look forward to serving you!”

We are honored to receive this level of praise.

May Sara Fay and the Elementals teach you the unrivaled power that comes from finding and listening to your inner voice!

3.Step 3 – Select a Corresponding Theme or Come up with Your Own. These quests are designed for party goers to work independently and together. My brilliant teacher friend is helping me come up with a Quest Party where the older children help guide the younger children. It is precious to watch and the older children appreciate feeling of use!

I was tickled pink to learn my sister and nephew got lost on a mountain adventure with their Sara Fay and the Elementals Quest Journal. My sister initiated the quest by asking my five-year-old nephew if he wanted to draw any of the plants he saw. After completing his first drawing, he saw opportunities everywhere.

He drew plants, flowers, and trees and then excitedly proposed they write their own story. At times, he would narrate, at others, my sister would narrate. In their story, they went camping, roasted marshmallows, ate hot dogs, hiked through trails and then…

They saw a real-life moose on the trail! What a perfect addition to their story and chance to practice illustrating.

“Then we saw a moose and it came right on the trail and we ran for our lives.”
